from: Millie Brown Frieden: “This is a wedding quilt for my son and daughter-in-law….It is a variation of the Chinese Coin pattern and was my first attempt at free motion quilting on my machine. Includes 3 pieces of French Provencal handwork….showing the “quilt and fill” process that has been preserved down thru the centuries, and 3 blocks of applique and embroidery.”

from: Chris Jacobs: “Wedding Guest Book Signature Quilt. Inspired by ClamBake pattern in Winter issue of Simple Quilts. Guests signed “shells” at the wedding to be sewn into this quilt. The wedding colors were teal and spring green. I call it Happy as a Clam.”

from: Anita Balgenorth: “Tree of Life quilt made for our daughter and her husband in celebration of their marriage last May. Their initials are on the heart on the trunk.”
